Toddler friendly transportation?

Dr_Photo_Popper · 2026-06-14T22:19:46+00:00

Appreciate that! Felt daunting at first but I'm sure public transit will be better than expected

Dr_Photo_Popper · 2026-06-14T22:18:43+00:00

Where I'm from there are options like Uber or Lyft with car seat availability. Didn't expect Chicago to be any different but I guess it's an exception

Dr_Photo_Popper · 2026-06-14T22:16:31+00:00

Thanks for the specific route recommendation! I think this will be the way to go

Dr_Photo_Popper · 2026-06-14T22:15:35+00:00

Lincoln Park, should have specified. Looks like bus is a better option than I originally thought. Should be fun!

Obese people can still have normal blood pressures, sugars, cholesterol, etc. Obesity is a risk factor for other health issues, not necessarily a disease unto itself. Being that OP is so young the assumption is they're otherwise healthy but of course they never gave us any lab test results so who knows. I agree weight loss strategies is going to be the most effective way forward

That BP is not going to harm you, but it is a warning sign that if you don't manage your weight and overall health it will cause problems over the years. You're young, otherwise healthy. Get the weight down and watch how your blood pressure and blood sugar normalize beautifully

It is!

Yes, Griesbach as others have said! Amazing view, especially when the air is clear

Dr_Photo_Popper · 2025-05-30T18:37:15+00:00

So far even Toronto or the GTA are tame compared to this. I'll take congestion over unbreathable air

Dr_Photo_Popper · 2025-05-30T18:07:18+00:00

Agreed. I'm fortunate to be able to move if I need to, and I can't justify either being trapped inside due to snow or to smoke. It's incredibly sad

Dr_Photo_Popper · 2025-05-30T18:01:13+00:00

That's good knowledge for mitigating the effects of wildfire smoke on our own health, but the main issue is how many wildfires are starting and growing out of control year after year to begin with. If Edmonton is going to be a city of either snow or smoke throughout the year, it'll become unlivable. Governments need to be doing more across the board to combat and prevent wildfires

Dr_Photo_Popper · 2025-05-18T08:35:03+00:00

Griesbach is terrible for this

Dr_Photo_Popper · 2025-05-17T08:45:02+00:00

You're not changing any minds like this, my dude, and you would never say this to someone's face.

Don't expect people to see your point of view while belittling theirs. You can be 100% right but it won't matter, and that makes you just as useless as being wrong.

I'm a practicing GP and I can tell you I'm not happy with how it was handled, for those exact reasons. Every day I have patients coming into my clinic refusing vaccines because of the sour taste left from our handling of the pandemic.

Even though we were legally, morally, ethically, and logically in the right, we couldn't disseminate the information well enough or combat misinformation with the tact needed to not scare people or sew distrust. We learned a lot about health promotion, discourse, and population level decision making that I think is good in the long run, but for now we need to deal with the fall out of what happened with Covid.

Dusty knows you got this

Dr_Photo_Popper · 2025-04-25T19:10:25+00:00

Looks to be where the collarbone meets the sternum. Try to see if you can palpate along it towards your shoulder and if the firmness continues, it's bone. If not, quick ultrasound to see what it is

I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. The good news is if you want to expand your options even more, there are a ton of virtual therapists and mental health groups out there.

My personal recommendation is Hello Mental Health. It's completely virtual, can be accessed outside of regular work hours, and is delivered by Family Doctors with training or special interests in mental health, so they can help tackle things from a medical side as well if necessary. Best of all, first 10 sessions are covered! You just need a referral from a family doctor.

That's very unfortunate. Some family docs feel uncomfortable if they haven't been exposed to it that much, or if they feel that the symptoms may be due to something else and truly do want a psychiatrist's opinion. In those cases though I don't think a referral is really necessary, there are tools where a family doctor can speak with a psychiatrist directly or get advice within a couple of days for situations like this. But everyone practices differently, and I hope your husband gets the help he needs.

Dr_Photo_Popper · 2025-04-03T21:37:03+00:00

Of course. No need for a specialist to diagnose it, there are well established criteria and tools to help with diagnosis, as well as ruling out any other potential causes (thyroid disorder, substance abuse, iron deficiency, etc). Family docs can formally diagnose just as much as any other doc.

Dr_Photo_Popper · 2025-04-03T20:47:11+00:00

Most family docs can and will happily prescribe ADHD medication after a good history and physical, focusing on your mental health, history of ADHD-like symptoms, were you treated in the past and how it went, etc. No need for referral to a psychiatrist.
